gNats Island

gNats Island is a computer game implementing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which I’ve been working on for a while now – in collaboration with Gary O’Reilly and Nicola McGlade at UCD and with Gavin Doherty at Trinity College Dublin. The game is designed to support interventions with young people experiencing medium to severe internalising, mental health disorders. We recently completed our first set of exploratory trials, the details of which will be published in a paper at CHI this year. Further details are available here.

Prospective PhD Students:

I enjoy working with people who are passionate about interactive technologies and want to address important social, economic and intellectual challenges. If you are interested in pursuing a PhD at University College Dublin please contact me to discuss projects and funding possibilities.
